The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14

Answer: 14 protons and  14 neutrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 14

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

14 + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of neutrons = 14

Thus there are 14 protons and  14 neutrons in ^{28}_{14}\textrm {Si}

Calculate the solubility of zn(oh)2(s) in 2.0 m naoh solution. (hint: you must take into account the formation of zn(oh)2−4, whi
Brilliant_brown [7]
When we have:

Zn(OH)2 → Zn2+ 2OH-  with Ksp = 3 x 10 ^-16

and:

Zn2+ + 4OH- → Zn(OH)4 2-  with Kf = 2 x 10^15
 
by mixing those equations together:

Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2- with K = Kf *Ksp = 3 x 10^-16 * 2x10^15 =0.6

by using ICE table:

         Zn(OH)2 + 2OH- → Zn(OH)4 2-

initial                     2m              0

change                  -2X                +X     

Equ                       2-2X                 X

when we assume that the solubility is X

and when K = [Zn(OH)4 2-] / [OH-]^2

        0.6 = X / (2-2X)^2    by solving this equation for X

∴ X = 0.53 m

∴ the solubility of Zn(OH)2 = 0.53 M

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

How many moles of oxygen are required to produce 37.15 g CO2? 37.15 g CO2 = mol O2
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.84 moles of oxygen are required.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ produced = 37.15 g

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂     →     CO₂

Number of moles of  CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 37.15 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

                          CO₂         :       O₂  

                              1           :         1

                            0.84       :       0.84

0.84 moles of oxygen are required.
